Hutama Karya Accelerates Sumatra Infrastructure Development

Multiple Strategic Toll Road Projects

Hutama Karya is making significant progress on multiple toll road projects in Sumatra, enhancing regional connectivity and economic development. The company is currently working on the Betung-Tempino-Jambi toll road (170.73 km), which will connect Banyuasin and Musi Banyuasin regencies ¹

Betung-Tempino-Jambi Toll Road

The 170.73 km Betung-Tempino-Jambi toll road is divided into three main sections: Betung-Tungkal Jaya (62.38 km), Tungkal Jaya-Bayung Lencir (54.32 km), and Bayung Lencir-Sp. Ness (52.59 km). As of now, the construction progress has reached 30.83%, while land acquisition has progressed to 43.35% ¹

The project includes five interchange points: Betung (2.2 km), Tungkal Jaya (3.31 km), Bayung Lencir (2.98 km), Tempino (1.87 km), and Ness (2.07 km). Four rest areas are planned at various points along the route. The toll road is expected to be completed by Q1 2027 and will reduce travel time from Jambi to Betung from 6 hours to just 2 hours ¹

Kuala Tanjung-Parapat Toll Road

In another development, PT Hutama Marga Waskita (Hamawas) is preparing to operate a 13 km segment of the Kuala Tanjung-Tebing Tinggi-Parapat (Kutepat) toll road during the 2025/2026 Nataru holiday period. The segment between Sinaksak and Simpang Panei has completed safety function tests and is awaiting the Certificate of Operational Feasibility (SLO) ²

Economic and Connectivity Impact

These toll road projects are crucial for enhancing connectivity in Sumatra, particularly in South Sumatra and North Sumatra. The improved infrastructure is expected to boost economic activity, facilitate trade, and enhance mobility for both people and goods.
